Bee Day Haiku Hike
May 17 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Hosted in partnership with WLRH
(Easy/ about 2 hours / around .75 miles) In honor of Bee Day coming up on May 20, discover nature and poetry with the Land Trust and WLRH! Take a short hike at the Blevins Gap Nature Preserve in Huntsville. After you finish a short circuit to observe spring among the trees, walk with us to the overlook and Marie’s Garden, our pollinator garden completed in the fall of 2024. As you take time in the garden to rest and discover our native plants blooming, you can meditate on the bees and other pollinators that use this garden. You’ll have this time to craft a Bee Day haiku with an opportunity to share your creation if you choose.
What’s a haiku? A Japanese poem with three lines and seventeen syllables (five in line one, seven in line two, and five in line three) traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
Take a Huntsville hike.
Let bees and flowers inspire.
Write a fun poem!
Location: Blevins Gap Nature Preserve–3470 Cecil Ashburn Dr SE, Huntsville, AL 35802
